Binged watched your video editing tutorial , Loved every bit of it, i just wanted to ask how do you make your green screen transparent in your tutorials and how do i add animations to it after making it transparent, also after making it transparent do i save the animation and bring it to my video editor with other clips, i am a bit confused lol, i am a finance guy filming a course trying to put out a tutorial myself.

[@RyanKingArt]

@@vana1550 Hello. Glad you enjoyed my video editing series. My Screen Recording Software, OBS, does the Green Screening in real time as I record, so my face is a part of the recorded video.

[@nijatIbrahimli]

wow, blender is great 3D software!!! Thank you for nice tutorial CG Geek!

[@mysticalmusicmoments]

The issues in the dark shadows are the most important problems I have. I'm ending up with masking out dynamically those spots. It's a painful work if your shot is very long. But it is the best way to get rid of this problems. But in the end this whole chromakey technique of blender is the best I have ever seen. Thank you for your good tutorials!

[@michaelsmusicinstruments9980]

one of the coolest blender tutorials on you tube, thank you CG Geek. A nice insight into the blender video editor with the greenbox, and what is possible if you are a little more intense with blender video deals. I'm always thinking of whether I should cut the videos in another program and set to music, but I see again so great blender tutorials and wants to do it with blender. Blender has everything you need. And fortunately, there are also the tutorials on KZbin like this one 11:31 this silhouette looks cool, i could well imagine on a black t-shirt, or as a record cover for a cd..... very nice

Would it improve the green screen if you lit the back of the green screen? (Hopefully making the green screen more vivid and easier to mask.)

[@JoussefJouda]

Thanks, I can't wait to see how do you do 3d matte painting with blender 2.8

[@virtual_intel]

Pretty cool special effects and using the new Blender 2.8 Beta is boss! nice job. I may be using Blender for VFX in the near future. Will refer back to your video here if I need compositing help.

[@k3mx_]

36:08 I love this part

[@ogcontraband]

I'm coming from after effects. So really,, you have to output the image files after keying? That's cheezy, there's no way to hook the output of the composite into the texture of a plane as material? I'm surprised because everything else in blender is connected together but then this tool is just an island? Is there such a thing as pre-composite in blender? I thought I learned of such a thing in previous versions - forget the term though after over a year away from this program. Thanks for learning me though, I subscribed.

[@kendarr]

I guess no, I don't know why he did that. Blender works better with image sequence but I don't see a reason for this, and about precomp, you can create a node group and use that as a piece of pre comp

[@rorschachjunior5305]

Shader nodes?

[@headgames4945]

Pretty sure you already know this but in System in user preferences under CUDA you can also check your Threadripper for even faster GPU + CPU renders

[@gvuprise1465]

Thank you, sweet man. ;) Please more videos.

[@shanabenjamin8945]

Brilliant ! Thank you 😊

[@ninjaduece]

thanks for this video I needed this :)

[@DaveThompsonfairlife4all]

I thought green screens were supposed to be pulled tight so there are no wrinkles? You have some ripples in the fabric at the top end of the guitar, so does that mean you don't get as good a key? Is making a green screen *perfect* overkill and unnecessary?

[@bbrothers2764]

Thank you! Well needed.

[@linkinjx8656]

The led signature of your GPUs bounce off the screen but without horizontal fliping. How is this possible? :O

[@SpinalSnowCat]

double reflection?

[@linkinjx8656]

@@SpinalSnowCat yes, it seems like the right part of the curved screen reflects the GPU, and the screen reflects on itself

Wow super i think 2 ask you but you done really great

[@justklampfing1140]

If you move a lot in your shot and it messes with the greenscreen, couldn't you just add a keyframe with adjusted settings? congrats to 1M

[@rionhunter]

Why is it still necessary to export the footage (as individual images, no less) and then re-importing it? Surely there's a way to port the footage into the 3d scene from within the program - otherwise there's no reason for it all to be the same program...

This is such a valuable video Thank you so much for this video

[@AJRadaza]

Thumbs up to the Blender Foundation and community - making and developing Blender a Multi-Purpose CG and Video Editing software! Though, I hope they will change the node-based compositor to a much non-complex compositor like in After Effects. I mean node-based is good, it's just that it would be better if they added an option to change it for beginners.

[@FinalGrade]

Honestly you are better off staying in AE for your compositing anyways. Also don't be intimidated by node based stuff. It seems daunting at first but I swear if you force yourself to get used to it it is better.

[@AJRadaza]

@@FinalGrade Yes, I know how nodes work. It's just that I'm new to the node modules in Blender. I just don't like CC After Effects and Premiere Pro because it's not workable on an old machine. 😂

[@makulVR]

@@FinalGrade I avoided nodes in blender for years especially when cycles came out but at the end it took me one single 30 min tutorial on YT to understand the basics. It looks complicated at first sight but it's not

[@rdoetjes]

The blender compositor is mediocre at best. After Effects is more versatile and much faster (and speed is important in compositing). Personally I love Nuke and therefor also the free Natron (which now is basically dead in the water). Nose based compositing is easier than layer based. Especially for larger composites. Layers get confusing when you have 20 or more 3D elements with all their passes.

[@daylightwhat]

Great Video :-) Thanks for the great tutorial. I still have a question, how to do that with the camera traking ? Have a nice day

[@Velocipede-uy4kw]

Awesome video, thank you very much for helping me with my first blender projects! One question: Is it possible to have multiple masks over the same image/clip? Some colors do not show because of glare from the green screen. Thanks!

[@pannina6866]

Good video, BUT the render video has no audio, isn't???? because it is a bunch images inside a video, no a video inside another video.

[@TrikeSquadron]

"Beginner" tutorial? seemed very complicated. but... thanks... can be followed it is just still so complex.

[@CGGeek]

Lots of info for beginners when it comes to shooting video and basic compositing. Even if the later steps (compositing over the city with motion) is a bit challenging for a complete beginner, I think this video should be really helpful for beginners in general to get started with VFX in Blender. :)

[@asddanzaland925]

Hi I would like to ask you a question In my scene I added a green screen as image but the light of the subject in the green screen doesn’t not match with the light of the scene How can I avoid that ????? I don’t understand why the video change when I add as plans in the scene it looks like Blurry........thanks Andrea

[@AphewguyZ]

I have multiple masks set to key frames but for some reason my masks arent cutting out the rest of the footage. Even when I'm just using a single mask. I havent had the problem previously.... just trying to troubleshoot... when I switch over to matte view it looks like I only have the insides of my masks selected. But when I move back to image view it looks like my masks atent cutting out their exterior... any suggestions? I'm two weeks deep into this this one and I'd hate to have to scrap it

[@MaybeGrim]

we have the same monitor & mic! thanks for the vid

[@rdoetjes]

I just put up an advanced keying tutorial, the so called core matte ¥ edge matte keying. You can get those lovely semi transparent areas at the edges and hard inside. It even helps to make decent keys with shitty compressed 8 bit footage.

[@Xhadow1995]

its a very very helpful video, thank you a looot

When I am rendering my video (after removing green mask and not adding any background) blender is automatically adding black background because of which when I import it as an image as plane all the black background is coming too nd it's messing up everything for me..... Can anyone help me?

[@humbervalleysharksAA2010]

The audio of the video is lost with this method. How to retain it?

[@patrickr.1433]

is there a way to cut down lag in the viewport so that you can work with the timing of the image sequences on multiple planes to sync to audio?

[@KausikChakraborty]

Thank you for such a valuable tutorial. I face an issue in masking. While I move the playhead forward in the timeline to ensure that no part of my subject is out of masking, after a certain period my RAM runs out and the blender is crashed. Can you suggest how this issue can be be dealt?

[@Diegovnia]

My masking doesn't work -,- I mean I wanted to cut out like a banner and change it to something else but whatever I do it only renders the banner but the entire video is blank and I can't invert it in any way. PLS HHALPPPPP

[@BANANA-sg9kj]

Thank you for the tutorial! I have one quick question. At around 22:20 mark, your video blends perfectly with the other video but in my case, there's a transparency around the subject. I can't find a way to get rid of it. Anyone knows the solution?

[@tristunalekzander5608]

I have the same problem.

[@betalike]

Thank you very much for the tutorial !! All clear. In my case the mask doesn't really work. On "Compositing" masking works and the green screen disappears, but when I render I see "the green screen" but with gray color (like a chess board -gray and dark gray) Can anybody help me? TY in advance

[@ramim7256]

How can I use the transparent video on the video editor?

[@tristunalekzander5608]

I can't see the background image through the plane (yes I enabled transparent), it's just alpha squares covering it where it overlaps. And it still just renders what I had in the compositing tab, rather than what's in the 3D viewport... And before anyone says it, yes I also enabled Cycles, I did everything he said, it appears this tutorial is already outdated or my Blender install is bugged.

[@jonix8885]

Thanks Steve

[@PunjabiHeera]

Wouldn't this be alot easier, in after effects?

[@thorbert]

Even on the newest version masks aren't showing up in the compositor for me. They scrub through just fine in tracking but just don't do anything v_v. Also multi-pass didn't make the clear bubble go away. I just wanna get this right >_
